It makes sense according to Trump's toady army. Krebs said that it was a fair and secure election, so he's contradicting Trump's BS narrative, and he is therefore the enemy.

I get THAT.

But Drawn and Quartered kind of negates the need for being shot at dawn, doesn't it?

Are you saying you see incompetent parents with toddlers in the supermarkets?

The ignore the tantrum strategy is a catastrophic failure in my neck of the woods. Perhaps those parents don't know how to ignore properly.

A lot of it probably depends on where you choose to exercise that strategy.

Public venues (grocery stores, restaurants, etc.) are probably not the best venues.

Home is okay.

National Review just broke with Trump calling his post election conduct "Disgraceful" . A bit too late, but still telling given the Review's clout as one of the foremost Conservative websites.

I think they broke with Trump a while ago.

Sigh, ninja'd again. :)

I used to be one of those people who tsked-tsked when I saw a parent with a toddler having a meltdown in a store. And I could handle a room full of middle schoolers with no problem. Then I had a kid with ADHD. Was that ever an eye opener. Sometimes the only thing you can do is just leave the store which I had to do on more than one occasion.

I understand your pain. I imagine it was tough.

My son had one actual tantrum. I ignored it and he never had another one. But he was a pretty mellow kid.

The highlighted is the problem.

Not counting special circumstances like Stacy described, you can't just ignore a single tantrum in the store. It's the pattern of positive parenting that one needs to use from the beginning which kids learn from.

Trump, for example, has never felt any actual consequences for anything. He's beyond hope at this point.

With toddlers, parents need parenting education and they rarely get it.

I don't think that I ever tsked at that... but then, I was a kid that was diagnosed with ADHD. I have no memory of having a temper tantrum at a store, but I wouldn't be surprised if my parents had such a memory of me doing so. I definitely had a number of tantrums at home, though.

They have to shoot each individual piece.

ETA: Sigh. Everyone else has already posted stuff funnier than this.

We are getting too far off topic here, but if the kid is throwing a tantrum in a public place then there's a good chance that is not their first tantrum and there's a good chance (with some exceptions) that earlier tantrums were not ignored, rather they were successful as far as the toddler was concerned.

Again, getting back to Trumpy the widdle toddler, he was screwed up by his father and according to Mary Trump, the niece, his mother didn't cross his father so she was no help. Bullying worked for Trump from an early age.
 
kids are little humans, there’s not a universal manual for them

(Off topic. Probably.)
True story.
Screaming kid in the supermarket. "No Momma! Don't! Stop! Noooo!"
And she just went right on buying vegetables.

Trump Tweets

I’m not fighting for me, I’m fighting for the 74,000,000 million people (not including the many Trump ballots that were “tossed”), a record for a sitting President, who voted for me!

First highlight:
:big: :crazy:

Second highlight:
Wow, 74 Trillion supporters. He should have won the election!
 
I get the humor of someone being drawn and quartered and then taken out at dawn and shot.

But I mentioned this because this was the President's lawyer suggesting on TV that a Trump appointed government servant be executed for doing his job.

As long as there is a working brain, they "live" even if the body is not intact. A severed head can still kill. A torso with a head can still crawl with one arm. I've got to get a life.....:boggled:

I really don't want to know this.
 
I was thinking it was a starfish scenario where he could keep growing back unless the brain is destroyed
